Wireless Adapter

Introduction

The AT-WCU200G wireless adapter is a standards-based wireless

product. See Figure 1. It can communicate with other devices enabled

for 802.11g and 802.11b standards-based wireless LAN connectivity. The

wireless adapter is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b RFC, so it can

be connected to your existing 802.11b-compliant devices.

Figure 1 AT-WCU200G Wireless Adapter

You can integrate the wireless adapter into an existing network by using

one of the following configurations:

❑The ad-hoc mode which allows you to connect two PCs with a

wireless connection.

❑The infrastructure mode which allows you to connect a PC with an

access point.

Ad-hoc Mode In the ad-hoc mode, you can enable a wireless connection between two

PCs. To accomplish this, you need one AT-WCU200G wireless adapter for

each PC. See Figure 2.

You can use a USB cable to connect the AT-WCU200G wireless adapter

to a workstation or laptop. Or, you can connect the AT-WCU200G

wireless adapter directly to the USB port on your PC.
